SSL_set_connect_state(3)
NAME
  SSL_set_connect_state, SSL_get_accept_state - Prepare SSL object to work in
  client or server mode

SYNOPSIS
  #include <openssl/ssl.h>

  void SSL_set_connect_state(
	  SSL *ssl );

  void SSL_set_accept_state(
	  SSL *ssl );

DESCRIPTION
  The SSL_set_connect_state() function sets ssl to work in client mode.

  The SSL_set_accept_state() function sets ssl to work in server mode.

NOTES
  When the SSL_CTX object was created with SSL_CTX_new(), it was either
  assigned a dedicated client method, a dedicated server method, or a generic
  method, that can be used for both client and server connections.  (The
  method might have been changed with SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() or
  SSL_set_ssl_method().)

  When beginning a new handshake, the SSL engine must know whether it must
  call the connect (client) or accept (server) routines. Even though it may
  be clear from the method chosen, whether client or server mode was
  requested, the handshake routines must be explicitly set.

  When using the SSL_connect() or SSL_accept() routines, the correct
  handshake routines are automatically set.  When performing a transparent
  negotiation using SSL_write() or SSL_read(), the handshake routines must be
  explicitly set in advance using either SSL_set_connect_state() or
  SSL_set_accept_state().

RETURN VALUES
  The SSL_set_connect_state() and SSL_set_accept_state() functions do not
  return diagnostic information.
